Fiber Bats vs Wood Bats for Tape Ball Cricket

Hi guys, I play in an indoor tape ball league, and my team has a lot of Fiber Bats that they use because it is really light. I personally like using wooden bats because I feel that they are stronger, and I also think that the ball would ping off of it more. I know it's a bit heavier. My question to all of you is, which bat type is better? Fiber or Wood?

I would say Fiber, fiber just gets the ball to have better timing no matter where the ball makes contact to it, unlike wood where you need to have a lot of power or get it in the middle to make the ball go a distance.
